As one who owns a GE Mobile Maid
Thus torn in a love hate relationship with the thing, can see the advantages.
Think about how one loads dishes from sink or table; you lift and place them down into wash basin to be cleaned. With a top loading DW one simply moved things from sink or counter right down into DW, no bending or stooping required. For a portable one rolls the thing to table, then does same thing. In situations where space is at a premium loading from top saves having to ensure there is enough room not only to open a side loading dishwasher door, but to extend racks. Huge draw back to a TL dishwasher is both for permanent or portable if the top is used as counter space, then one must shift whatever is on top off to open lid, then put things back afterwards. At a minimum of three meals per day that gets old fast, trust me I know. Other downside of top loading dishwashers is having to lift out maybe one or more racks to get at the bottom. Later designs by Maytag, GE and KA came up with ways to lift one or more racks out of the way which did help. All this being said, for a small galley kitchen or place where space is at a premium, a TL dishwasher still might make sense. Provided one is willing to live with minor niggles. | ||
